Best Sellers in Charleston, SC
The RSVP Shoppe
Proprietor Randall Felkel purchased his stationery shop when it was only a tiny 7’x 50′ space on Charleston’s high-rent King Street. He moved the shop into a much larger nearby building, a former drug store in a mixed-use neighborhood. “Ease of parking was my main criteria,” he said, since Charleston has a dearth of downtown spaces. Today, The RSVP Shoppe is a destination store for locals; greeting card purchases alone pay a good portion of the overhead, while Felkel has continuously added gift lines, paper goods, and a smattering of home accessories and baby items. Shelves lining the walls are from the drugstore days; Felkel moved the former pharmacy shelving—tall verticals—out onto the floor and painted them to match the wall units. The previous owner still works at The RSVP Shoppe as a sales assistant, a blessing for Felkel, who can take an occasional vacation and leave her in charge.
